Arriving in a new town with his dad, Jim has to participate in a young scientist competition with his new classmate Emma, a sensitive and discreet girl. De¬spite her reluctance, Jim convinces her to imitate Kit¬tinger’s ‘Excelsior’ project (first man to reach the frontier of space in 1960) and to build secretly a real air balloon.This calling comes from his father, Graham, an astrophys¬icist who was meant to carry out a space mission very soon. Since Jim’s mother died, this project is very important to him.But when he discovers Graham has given up with¬out telling him, his world falls apart. The com¬petition turns into an obsession and Jim wants to prove unlike his father that he won’t give up.
